Proven Depth The hard work and commirmenr of rhe men on the 1986 cross country team paid off this year when they were rewarded with a strong season from start to finish. Rob Moore led the team almost the entire season, supported by strong performances from John Oswald and Eric Fillinger. Ar the NCCAA Nationals, Oswald ran first for the team and placed sixth overall. Although the 1986 women's cross country team had two srrong lead runners in Deb Pate and Cathy Watson, the depth of the ream proved to be as much of on asset throughout rhe season. Pare qualified for All-American Sta- tus in rhe NCCAA Nationals as well; and Watson ran a powerful, second position all season, in- proving her rime each meet.The remainder of the team — Becky Averill, Lynn Clark, Beth McGillivray, Gretchen Mounrs, Belinda Sills, and The All-Ohio meet,though, was the sire of one of the ream's best performances this season, where the men placed 7th out of 37 teams and second in the college division. The season ended just as strongly wirh Moore's and Fil- linger's positions or the NAIA National meet in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Derh McGiNvroy Laurel Yates traded positions during the season and provided a solid foundation for the team's overall standing. This paid off or the All-Ohio meet where the women placed 5th out of 17 teams in the college division. Affected by Malo- nes's entrance in the NCCAA meet, rhe wom- en placed third overall, but were pleased with a season highlighted by commitment and strong performances from each member. 200
